ast but not the least, he is NOT a playmaker. How can he claim
to be one when he fouls more often than he creates goals??
you got anything to back that up??
I do agree that soccer is a team sport and all needs to play well
in order to well.
take out Rooney, who else you expect to shine in England
team?
or you see shinning in the first game?
- Gerrard?? To all Liverpool fans, he played well, cause he
intercept so many balls. But wat's Gerrard true value? In the
Champion League and FA cup, we saw it, he scored. Blasting the ball
into the net. But did he? He played even with a back injury, and
because of that, he can't aim well. So final verdict, defensive
okie, but his main contribution to England Team,
disappointing.
- Owen?? To all Liverpool fans, and Newcastle, he is the answer, or
should I say, was the answer. How many shots he got on goal? I bet
I can count on a hand. And when he is sub, he wants to have a
showdown with manager. Really good attitude.
- Couch?? I only saw him, arguing his case again and again with the
ref, until he shut up when a yellow was shown. He can do well when
defenders are naive lah. Look at Koller.. That's what height is
used. Not for MJ's breakdance impersonations.
- JCole? He is ice-cold. He looks out of sort. He reminds me of
MUFC no7. Doing the unnecessary so many times. Was out of his
league when asked to be supporting striker when owen was sub.
- ACole? Really lack match fitness. Where was the Cole who slice
other teams apart? Run into opposing 6 yard and blasting the ball
in. He seems so lost.
- Lampard? He hit two shots. But otherwise, he was looking for
JCole to link up but seems okie only. Really expect more from 1st
runner up of World player of the year.
I think England needs a gel, someone to pull everyone together.
Someone to play owen through, someone to push the ball up front,
and lay it back for a Gerrard or Lampard to hammer home, someone to
show his fire and push the whole England team onwards. It must be a
Gunners/Chelsea or Liverpool player's job, Surely, that's not
Rooney's role.
He is too overweight, shrek-like, brainless, one-dimension,
hot-headed, and lastly, don't know where the goal is.
